**An upper-level ridge of high pressure continues to dominate Central Texas, sustaining above-normal warmth with light southeast winds and limited cloud cover expected to allow highs in the mid-90s on September 26.** Official National Weather Service guidance and multiple model outputs point to a daily maximum near 93–97°F, several degrees above the late-September climatological average of about 90°F, consistent with the market’s leading 92–95°F bins. Subtle differences in morning cloud thickness or afternoon mixing could shift the peak by a degree or two, while any increase in moisture or slight steering changes remain secondary influences. Updated NWS point forecasts and evening model runs will provide the final verification data for market resolution.
